Meghan Markle Wore a Classic Trench to Pay Tribute to Nelson Mandela

Early this week, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended the opening of the Nelson Mandela Centenary Exhibition, a free exhibit about Mandela's life in South Africa and his fight against apartheid, which will run from July 17 through August 19 at the Southbank Centre's Queen Elizabeth Hall in London. The exhibition marks 100 years since Mandela's birth, and focuses on his career fighting for equality and justice.

Meghan paired the dress's classic silhouette with simple accessories: a blush-colored clutch from Mulberry and matching pumps, which are reportedly by Dior, and she wore her hair up in a loose bun. Shop the bag, albeit in a different color, below:

While at the opening of the exhibition, Harry and Meghan met with a number of people with close ties to Mandela, including his granddaughter Zamaswazi Dlamini-Mandela.

They also spoke with 92-year-old Andrew Mlangeni, who "stood on trial accused of sabotage against the then apartheid government in 1938, and spent 26 years in prison on Robben Island."

According to Royal correspondent Rebecca English, who took the video below, the program this morning included a performance by the Ubunye Choir, a group she reports was "brought together by the South African Diaspora Ubunye Trust especially for the exhibition."
